In Uni for game development, I actually had to find people to test my game, as a basic QA unit. They told us not to use friends. So basically, either we dox ourselves to strangers to prove to them that it's linked to an actual university, or we somehow convince strangers to run an EXE from a stranger. These skids have made it impossible for actual students to find strangers to test their projects.
@d9zirable they didn't really, funnily enough, the feedback was to be anonomized in the report so we could have made the entire thing up and not ran user testing at all. We didn't know that ahead of time, though.
@@EricParker But how is it not detected by AV, when it does the things it does? I wrote a script to control system volume. System volume.. and my AV freaked out :S
This scam all started to spread on Discord, and it was most predominately Lumma Stealers, but now this is a beginning of a new strain called Hexon, a game of cat and mouse that will never...ever end.
@@jacobsanmore sad if they instead of just stealing your friends' accounts impersonate them for a while before sending anything. seen that happen once
I find it funny that this has finally been covered. I was sent a version of this back in May, and it went under the name Lamenta. I actually had a conversation with the attacker as it was targeted towards Discord token logging. So it is nice to see that you got your hands on it. The version I was sent and analysed back then had practically no obfuscation.
thank you for covering this! i only got as far as trying to analyse the extremely obfuscated js file. very cool to see a full analysis. funny thing: the "game" both says its an unreal and a unity game. lol
Man i love your content i have a few questions do you reinstall widnows on a pc over and over or you use virtualization and if yes then how to correctly isolate it from leaking into host and which software you use
If possible it is recommended to get a dedicated hardware for virtualization specially if you want to test malicious software. So that you don't worry about it leaking into the host anymore
I once was playing a booth game in roblox,there was someone saying "pls test my game",i was telling everyone to be careful,when i got to that person and i started announcing it may be malware,he blacklisted me from the booth,and became angry at me,many people did fall for that probably,never test games from questionable persons.
A while ago I encountered a stealer that similarly used a nullsoft installer and then electron under the hood, but it was a lot less sophisticated. Interesting to see how things evolve over time
because it can, i guess i was messing around with something and i decided to make it close all discord editions and all browsers as well as other random stuff like notepad or it could be force quit so they can steal login info or something idk
"...if it just relied on the user being dumb and actually running it repeatedly" and that user was me. That was about 2 years ago, I still remember I used to click it 5 times assuming that I had made a mistake while installing it. The dumb part is since the first time it was opened it immediately opened CMD but I still didn't realize it lol. But after the "5" times, I immediately reinstalled windows and changed all my account passwords especially discord. I should be safe right?

Here's a great idea: every discord user is a script kiddie. Don't run random shit they send you.

He does use a virtual machine with VirtualBox. The main thing to be safe is to not use shared folders.
it's QEMU / KVM. I previously used vmware
If possible it is recommended to get a dedicated hardware for virtualization specially if you want to test malicious software. So that you don't worry about it leaking into the host anymore

roblox games are 100% safe, unless its a fake login game - if your account gets stolen by one of these you deserve it
@@truestbluuBut there were games that can get you banned so I wouldn’t say 100% safe
@@sandwich-plays yeah but it CANT be malware that's literally impossible
It was external games. Via discord

they hijack accounts & spread the malware on their accounts. hes probably a victim

you didn't mention that the game was, infact, a unity game made in js copyrighted by unreal game inc.
hey eric, what about running viruses on the windows sandbox? is that safe at all? just curious
Do you have a tutorial for making a realistic VM?
I like this type of videos
is this the activation key? 4:00 xD
Yeah I get these a lot, always troll them a bit, and eventually say some really unnice things, as I dislike scammers :D
